18、 the park differentso 15 years later, we returned to see how it was going. We were photographing some jellyfish. Jennifer, her back to me, was focused on something above her. Out of the corner of my viewfinder, I saw a sizable crocodile coming. As I began to take its photograph, I realized that the

19、crocodile was going to swim directly between Jennifer and me. I started to make loud noises through my regulator and moved towards Jen, firing a burst of flash-lit shots to warn her that we had company. She quickly detected my signal and turned to meet our visitor. She gave me a quick thumbs-up, nod

20、ded OK, and said “Hello, handsome” as she bent closer to take its photos. I admired her for treating the crocodile with respect, calm curiosity, and absolute joy. She didnt feel threatened. She was familiar with this kind of crocodile in this particular placeand she had a big underwater camera housi

21、ng that could double as a mighty shield (盾牌) if needed. After a few pictures the crocodile, unimpressed with us, swam downstream on its way to do other crocodile things. We continued our search for jellyfish. There is always risk in our line of work. But this encounter highlighted the good news that

22、 we saw all around us here. The crocodile is an indicator animal, a symbol of a healthy ecosystem that can support top predators (捕食性动物). The easing of travel restrictions is bound to bring more touristsso its vital to maintain a balance among ecotourism, exploration, and conservation. Thats possibl

26、ands can often hear locals communicating over long distances by whistlingnot a tune, but the Spanish language. The locals are communicating in Silbo, a much more widespread use of whistled languages. In at least 80 cultures worldwide, people have developed whistled versions of their local languages

27、when the circumstances call for it. Whistled languages are almost always developed by traditional cultures that live in mountainous regions or in dense forests. Thats because whistled speech carries much farther than ordinary speech or shouting, says Julien Meyer, a linguist who explores the topic o

28、f whistled languages. Skilled whistlers can reach 120 decibels (分贝)louder than a car speaker. As a result, whistled speech can be understood up to 10 times as far away as ordinary shouting can. That lets people communicate when they cannot get close enough to shout. Whistled languages work because m

29、any of the key elements of speech can be imitated in a whistle. We distinguish one speech sound from another by minor differences in their sound frequency patterns. Whistlers can express all of these distinctions by varying the pitch (音高) of their whistle. And the skill can be adapted to any languag

30、e, even those that have no tradition of whistling. However, whistled languages are disappearing rapidly all over the world, and somesuch as the whistled form of the Tepehua language in Mexicohave already disappeared. Modernization is largely to blame, says Meyer, who points to roads as the biggest f

31、actor. “Thats why you still find whistled speech only in places that are very, very remote, that have had less access to roads,” he says. Fortunately, there is still a ray of hope. UNESCO has listed two whistled languagesSilbo in the Canary Islands, and a whistled Turkishas elements of the worlds in

32、tangible cultural heritage. Such attention can lead to conservation efforts. In the Canary Islands, for example, Silbo is now taught in schools. “If people hadnt made that effort, Silbo would probably have disappeared,” says Meyer. There, at least, the future of the whistled language looks bright. 2

33、8. What can be learned about Silbo? A. It is an endangered tune. B. It is employed to entertain tourists. C. It is used in more than 80 cultures. D. It is a whistled version of Spanish. 29. What are whistled languages mainly used to do? A. Pass on secret information. B. Get messages across over long

34、 distances. C. Imitate the sound patterns of other languages. D. Show minor differences between speech sounds. 30. Why are whistled languages disappearing according to Meyer? A. Lack of skilled teachers. B. Contact with modernity. C. Difficulty in learning them. D. Popularity of official languages.

35、31. What is the authors attitude towards the future of Silbo? A. Uncertain. B. Dissatisfied. C. Optimistic. D. Uncaring.DOn the day he almost died, Kimbal Musk had food on the brain. The Internet startup talent and restaurateur had just arrived in Jackson Hole from a conference where chef Jamie Oliv

Her favorite ballet was Swan and Lake and she had read dozens of books from the library or in the bookstore on how to become a ballerina. She anxiously hoped that one day her dream

She had taken ballet lessons and all her teachers confirmed that she was a good student and full of potential, which made her look forward to the future.One day she saw an advertisement that a famous ballerina troupe (剧团) would be performing in her hometown. Her thoughts ran wild,

65、“I must meet up with the leader of the troupe and show him my skills,” she murmured to herself.
